History of Morden Hall

Morden Hall OS 1885

Listed building:

Farmhouse, formerly a manor house. Medieval origins with late C15 or early C16 alterations and additions, late C17 or early C18 addition and C19 and C20 alterations. The building is noted for its late C15 or early C16 roof.

The original manor house was destroyed during the peasant uprising of 1381, it is probable that the hall was rebuilt shortly after and extended in the C15 by the Haseldens. Thomas Hayes refurbished the house in c.1620, it was used as a farmhouse from the C18.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
